We all be so disappointed if we don't get Bufkin.....The fact he wants Toronto makes me want him even more....Trade up if you have too...Just sucks we have many other assets to move up.

I really like Bufkin but I am not seeing what makes him can't miss.

Personally I'll be exciting if him & Lively move up to allow one of Whitmore or Bilal to fall to us.


Yeah I think people need to chill on the expectations lol.

I’m probably the biggest Bufkin fan but even I know him making an all nba team is probably non existent.

He’s going to be very good but he’s not the saviour of the franchise. (Would be awesome if he hits his absolute ceiling though)

if adding another lottery pick was to become available and Bufkin was a lock at 13 for us would you trade OG for another pick to pair Bufkin with someone from this draft? Like Bilal or Ausur? Or someone else?

He carries more risk than Wallace but if he hits his absolute ceiling we are talking about a kid who will put up very high shooting percentages across the board and fill up the stat sheet decently elsewhere while making hustle plays and being a solid defender. He has some feel for passing, much better than a guy like Keyonte George - let Darko and Jama help him in that department.

Overall a really great young player to bring in the system and mold. Really good P&R ability. I'd be very happy.

Do these guys really commentate about these players live in the arena while they're sitting there waiting to be drafted? That's pretty wild lol. I've seen them make negative comments during the show too lok

Jordan Hawkins is only guy not dressed like a clown
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
